I tend to think, P-Man, that this phenomenon which you've described is something witnessed only after several UNFROZEN beers are consumed. I think some rigorous testing is in order. I will be happy to act as the control for this experiment, and volunteer to sit in your passenger seat consuming Pabst at 34 degrees F at the same rate that you consume beer cooled to 30 degrees F.

The water is very likely frozen, and due to the property of H2O to expand in solid form, the bottle is under pressure--ergo, explosion upon opening, messy steering wheel, and looking like you peed yourself. So I will open the beers while you drive.
